Okay so I planned to spend 5 days in Cancun before my surgery. I arrived today and my surgery is on Friday. I was fine at home with the pre-op diet, but since I have been here for 6 hours...all I can think about is eating...anything. I even emailed my doctor to see if I could have some plain baked whitefish...seeing that it is high in Protein and low in calories and fat. Mexican food is my favorite, and I came 5 days ahead on a fully liquid pre-op diet...what was I thinking????:)

:thumbup:Just try to keep your goals in mind. That's gotta be tough! Try keeping yourself preoccupied, away from food, which will be hard.

I gained 8 lbs in between visits. My very first appt was in Nov 08. I chickened out and finally decided what to do. I saw her again in Apr 2010, and she said I gained 8 lbs. I didn't think that was too bad, since I usually gain about 10 per year, but she wants me to lose 10 lbs by June 7th. I've lost about 5 so far, gotta keep on truckin! I just hope I lose it by then. Surgery date is June 24th.

Good luck! You can do it!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
